Why a Red X Is the New Symbol of Conservative Twitter
(excerpt)
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took the unusual step Wednesday of going on Sean Hannitys radio show in an attempt to win back conservative Twitter users. On Twitter, pro-Trump Twitter users are increasingly registering their discontent with Dorsey by adding a red X emoji to their account names to claim theyre being shadow-banned.
Like the frog emoji before ita reference to Pepe the Frogthe X has become a ubiquitous symbol in MAGA Twitter, while baffling everyone else.
Good catch and thank you bagster!
Ok, it’s looking like I’m wrong on this one.
Or... (I’m not trying to make excuses or make myself “right” here, I’m just trying to see all sides and prevent a possible dangerous assumption).
Maybe the derps have co-opted that symbol.
Example: If non-pedophiles started identifying themselves by wearing red MAGA hats and people accepted them as safe, don’t you think the pedos would start wearing MAGA hats, too?
This issue needs closer watching and more data.
